life is more about healing YOU, not creatures.
Light is more about healing ANYTHING.

If you want to use the excessive :light then a healing bolt is not what you would want.

However let us consider what types of cards are quanta expensive (as that is your goal).
High casting costs cards (Dragons already fit that for Light)
High Activation cost cards (Nymphs do that however they are rare enough not to deserve a monopoly on this type)
High Absorb costs (Like flooding)

My recommendation is either a card with a static effect and a high Absorb cost or a card with a repeatable skill with a high activation cost.

Now to think of an appropriate Light effect

Light's major healing appears, to me, to be a symptom of its desire and focus on protection.
Guardian Angel heals creatures (only creature healing in the game)
Miracle saves the player from certain death
Light's minor healing (Holy Light, Luciferin) are tiny although competitive compared to Life.

So I would recommend
A Static protection effect that uses Absorb :light :light :light as a drawback.
A Protection based skill that costs a lot of  :light.

So specifically on the topic of healing anything, I would recommend either a creature with :light :light :light :light Blessing or a permanent with Absorb :light :light :light creatures gain +0|+1 per turn.

true, maybe a card that reads: 'Target creature gains +0|+1 each turn, but absorbs  :light :light :light a turn. This effect stacks.' and costs :light :light :light to play, and the white nymph's effect is that.

Currently the Light|White Nymph has a useful ability: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,17759.0.html
Having a new card to field  the new ability would be wise.

that's a good idea, just thinking......

maybe 2 new cards:

Passive Healing                            ~  Delayed healing
:light :light :light                                     ~ :light :light :light
Target creature                            ~  Target creature gains
gains +0/+1 a turn, but absorbs  ~  +0|+2 a turn, but absorbs :light :light a turn.
  :light :light :light a turn.             ~  This effect stacks.
This effect stacks.                       

Blesser                  ~ Exalter
5 :light                      ~  5 :light
1|3                        ~  1|5
4 :light: passive heal~4 :light: delayed heal

I like it.  It's like you a gave a creature purify, except with a maintainance cost.

1 question though.  Does it buff the creatures 0 | +1, or heal the creature 1 HP?

It depends. If the creature doesn't have full health, then it heals it. If it does, then it's a buff.
